politics to celebrities. Journalists work in a variety of
settings, from the comfort of their office to potentially
dangerous field locations such as war zones.

analyse media topics and write clearly about them. To build
research skills, they could be required to investigate topics in
foreign affairs and prepare scripts for news shows.
